You got it, gtho4! These two countries have
always been able to put aside political concerns and send a team to the games. I was really upset when our President Carter decided to boycott the Moscow games in 1980.
It really did nothing but deny many athletes the chance to compete. I hope the political leaders of this century can resist the temptation to do anything like this again.
I'm looking forward to the games in Sydney this summer. Should be a great time!
